TIFU by leaving conditioner in my hair to dry and not washing it out. (Picture included)

I read once that if you leave the conditioner in your hair without washing it, it would actually hugely benefit your hair.

So I did so.

As my wife is a hairdresser and I have a lot of choice of shampoo and conditioner, I just picked the first one like I always do. Got out the shower, slicked my hair back and went downstairs to chill out the rest of the day.

My daughter kept giving me a funny look but maybe she was just getting used to Daddy’s hair looking fly, iunno.

Fast forward an hour and my wife comes in and bursts out laughing. “What has happened to your hair!” I told her the story, and through tears she told me to look in the mirror. As I did so, I realised I had morphed into Clare Balding.

It turns out I had used extra special volumiser shampoo that shouldn’t be left for more than a minute or so, and at that point it had been in my hair about 3 hours. It was huge. I’m just a fat white guy too, I looked ridiculous.

You mean cleaning and condition your hair made it soft and light and fluffy? Its almost like thats whats supposed to happen

Well, it was all of that good stuff, but then also about two foot off the top of my head.

I once had to use my mother's volumising shampoo because there was no other shampoo left in the house. Up until that point I thought that the claims were just marketing and I wouldn't see much of a difference. I.was.wrong! My hair was ridiculously humongous. I already had tons of curly thick hair and didn't need help to make it look full. I had an afro.

Yet for people who actually have thin hair it does nothing...

Baldness is hereditary in my family. I’ve toyed with getting adopted but I think this is my new jam.

I leave in conditioner all the time. Then again, my hair is very thick and wavy, so I need to if I want to style it at all.

I think the issue may have been the type of conditioner. Living with a hairdresser, there are almost 50 or so shampoo and conditioners to choose from, (mostly left from people coming to get their hair styled and then leaving their own favourite there for next time), so I always just pick the first one I can reach. I’ve played a dangerous game for a long time and I finally lost.
